Went to the Westlake center in Downtown Seattle today to get an ORCA card , since by the end of the month, Seattle will require the ORCA card to use the transit system. Well, I went there expecting the Westlake ticket center to be closed, as it always has been every other time I went there. To my surprise, It was open!! Lucky me, Otherwise it would have been another trip to the Metro Transit headquarters, and waiting in line there is almost an exercise in futility.
